Nov 24, 2018 | Water Softening, Whole House Water Filtration
Cambridge MA city water transformed into spring water like purity in one day.
TPW installed this water softening & filtration system for a family of 4 during major renovations. Cambridge MA water has 7 grain per gallon hardness, disinfectant chemicals as well as trace amounts numerous impurities. The new homeowners considered the purity of their whole house water to be of paramount importance. Breathing of chlorine & chemical vapors along with transdermal absorption during a 20 minute hot shower, has been shown to be the equivalent of drinking 2 gallons of chlorinated water. Raw water first enters a combo sediment/carbon housing where particulate and chlorine are removed. The middle floor tank is a 2 cube softener which will remove virtually all hardness, iron and manganese. The left tank is a 2.5 cube activated coconut shell carbon filter containing 75 lbs. of media which will remove/reduce hundreds of contaminates. The finished water has a spring water like level of purity and is amazing to shower and bathe in. A 5 stage reverse osmosis drinking/cooking/ice making filter was also installed. Installs by TPW have won the respect of numerous fine homebuilders throughout Massachusetts for careful planning, sturdy plywood panel mounting and an excellent scheduled maintanance program.

The Town of Holliston MA has experienced a series of ongoing problems with its municipal water that will surely take the town considerable time to correct. You can take charge of what comes into your home and touches the lives of your family. We at ThinkPureWater of Framingham, MA can transform your Holliston water into sparkling clean, safe water for your home and family, in a matter of a few days.
Holliston municipal water is sourced from a series of shallow wells connected to aquifers which are extremely vulnerable to wide variety of man-made pollutants. Residents in certain parts of town have been subjected to water containing high levels of manganese, iron, coliform bacteria as well as the myriad of toxic chemicals formed as a result of water chlorination. All water systems contain varying amounts of dangerous industrial chemicals as well. Many of these are pollutants are not even regulated by the EPA or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts DEP.
Water quality in Holliston can vary according to your location. We have rapid turnaround water testing available. We can tailor a whole house water purification system to address your particular neighborhood based on the water itself, not just the Town Water Report.
Here is a recent whole house water purification we installed in Holliston. The smaller housing is a high flow pre-filtration unit. Usually this clear housing contains a sediment filter cartridge only. Recent innovations in water purification have resulted in combining effective sediment removal with activated carbon impregnation and a carbon core in one cartridge. This single cartridge can dechlorinate 100,000 gallons of water while also removing/reducing industrial chemicals, sediment and dirt. This level of pre-filtration protects the larger tank, which contains 60 lbs of activated carbon and produces astounding quality, spring-like water throughout your home.
We also install a wide variety of whole house and drinking water filter systems, water softeners, pH Neutralizer, iron & manganese removal and more. If you need a fast, reliable and local solution to your water problems, call us for a free in home consultation.

Whole House Filter System
Here is a recent installation in Concord, MA of our Whole House Filter System (WH3500-IT). The family’s concerns were chlorine and a variety of chemical contaminates in the water. Cartridge choices are tailored to the water chemistry.
These cartridge type systems are the preferred choice for smaller homes and where backwashable, tank type systems present issues with where to discharge. The stone foundation required a wall section to be built creating a professional and rugged install. The modern, solderless Viega ProPress System was used with 1” copper piping and the standard 3 valve bypass setup. Water volume was increased with larger pipe diameter used. The homeowners were thrilled with the water quality and installation.

Feb 27, 2018 | Reverse Osmosis, Salt Free Scale Control, UV Sterilizer, Whole House Water Filtration
At ThinkPureWater, we can design, build and install purification systems that address a variety of criteria. This project was designed for a home wellness spa with a large steam shower in Natick MA. The system pictured here incorporates the WH 3000A Whole House Filter followed by a Scale Net Water Conditioner. This unit conditions the water to prevent hardness minerals from forming scale buildup on plumbing fixtures and etching of shower glass. It can also prevent scale buildup in the steam generator leading to costly repairs. With the chlorine and other disinfectant chemicals removed by the WH3000A, a UV Sterilizer System was installed to assure microbiologically safe water throughout the home regardless of what may enter thru the water main. Finally, a 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis System was added for drinking water directed to a new small faucet at the kitchen sink as well as the fridge ice maker. The homeowners were thrilled with the project and came to realize it was the one of the most important purchases they ever made. Call us today for a free in home consultation. 508.272.6636
